I was like you then I saw my friend playing it and it completely changed my perspective on the game. I ended up playing for over 14hrs the next day, which few games can get me to do these days.

Used air fresheners don't generate revenue. This would, especially if it was developed and expanded to something like Xbox Live. You know that piece of shit Kinect device Microsoft forced on gamers and then forgot about? They could use that. It's better than it being a paperweight.

I honestly don't get Microsoft's strategy with the Kinect. It was bundled with the XB1 yet Microsoft clearly had NO plan to utilise it or support it. Microsoft is blundering from one abortion to another.

If you'd visited the forums you'd know that this is a well-known issue. I never claimed that everyone was affected. All I said was that I've been having major problems for numerous driver releases now and that nVidia drivers aren't what they used to be.

I don't use G-Sync but have experienced major issues with freezes and TDRs on the past several driver releases. Hopefully these drivers finally fix the situation, as nVidia's drivers have been terrible recently.

Without the Deus Ex pedigree I'm not sure how much the original would have sold. Just like JUMPING in Thief or forced FIGHT bosses in DXHR, it's quite obvious they are trying to force as much generic down our throats as possible.

Just imagine for a minute without the pedigree, there would have been absolutely NO UPROAR from the fan base about the forced to fight bosses. They put those bosses in there on purpose, then tried to blame it on the developer, eidos hired. That alone make's eidos pathetic.

What the hell? DE:HR was an excellent game. The forced boss fights were a mistake but they were removed in the DC. It absolutely was NOT a 'generic console game'.

Personally I didn't care for the original Deus Ex. I played the demo when it came out but didn't enjoy it at all. DE:HR, on the otherhand, was an excellent experience from start to finish. It expanded the gameplay and its audience.

As for this video, it highlights the combat because that's what was lacking in the previous game. As they pointed out, the game can be played how you want. Franchises like this and Dishonored are what gaming is really about - choice. I hate linear games like COD that force you into a particular play style, one that often changes throughout the game (i.e. forced stealth sections).

The graphics are terrible but the experience looks substantial enough that it could be a decent game. Certainly it looks better than the abysmal trailer they put out earlier. I really like what they're going for but I'm worried the dated graphics will diminish my enjoyment. Graphics aren't everything but this looks REALLY dated.

I'll wait for PC gameplay footage closer to release before making any decision. Certainly I won't be paying the £50 / $77 that Steam is asking for, which is frankly insulting!

What?! I liked it precisely because it DOESN'T look like Doom 3, a game I really didn't care for. For me this is Doom going back to its roots. I had ZERO interest in this before the E3 presentation - now I'm looking forward to it.

Like others have mentioned, I don't really care for the finishing moves but that's not a dealbreaker. This is a step in the right direction for the franchise.

This seems very late to the party and struggling with issues already tackled by Oculus and Vive. More importantly it doesn't have any major backing, as Valve is working with the Vive and Facebook owns Oculus. To me this seems like a non-starter, as interesting as the tech is.

As already mentioned, we need VR to be an open platform and not tied to any one manufacturer.

It rewards strategic movement away from the lanes towards objectives and camps which believe it or not, can even happen in quick games. Maintaing the lanes is not even important anymore, as even a team pushed back to the citadel can turn an ENTIRE GAME AROUND by overwhelming an enemy that overextends their push.

You listed everything I DISLIKE about HotS. The lack of items makes for a more repetitive experience; the objectives mean everybody piles into one lane and it's chaos; the limited heroes ruin the experience and requires you to grind to unlock them.

Like anyone serious about gaming is running XP or ME? Pull the other one, it's got bells on......

Lots of people still on Vista.

Less than 1% of PC gamers according to Steam stats. Even less than the number of poor saps still clinging to XP, lol.

Exactly. Windows 7 and 8 make up 91% of the gaming market according to Steam, so most people will qualify for a free upgrade to Windows 10 (and those that don't will simply pirate it).

As for the XB1 'support', all it's doing is running games in a window and not tracking any movement in-game - not surprising as the XB1 struggles to hit 1080p @ 60fps. Complete gimmick. At least Sony is trying to do VR properly with Morpheus.

I really enjoyed the original game. It wasn't quite good enough to be a classic but it was certainly unique. That said, since EA has boycotted Steam I've boycotted them so this is another 'looks good but I'll never play it' title.
